Here's a magazine pic of a bed I made out of a 40 something International pickup. The kid sleeps in the box {lengthened to fit an Xtra long mattress} and the cab is fully "functional". I shortened the steering column, shortened the glovebox, the Emergency brake works, and the shifter. The guages all read perfect and I turned the odometer to read the kid's birthday . I made the frame out of 2" tubing , used a f-100 fibreglass rear fender, and a VW front fender. I had to make the cab floor removeable "cause it all had to go in thru the window as it would not go thru the house. I finished it off by painting the kid's name on the door. I warned the kid's mother that when he's older he may "accidently " put his girlfriend's head thru the back window !!!
It was just some home painting and decorating magazine out last summer. A fenderless A tub would make a neat one too !
Thats the best thing ive ever seen! i allways wanted one of those indy car beds when i was alittle kid in the 80's but i never got one heres what i built last monday. we got a new couch so i wanted to make a nicer table. its a work in progress and its a little crooked. i need to buy a leval and get a bigger garage dont worry only sbc parts were injured for this venture Bryan
Is it wrong to be 24 and want one for myself? Maybe a 59 Caddy Convert, with no seats? Painted in pinK............oh yeah!! xx Brandy
I checked this out thinkin' ,,What the hell does a furniture show have to do with traditional cars? Damn,It's great!,,,,the problem as I see it is now ya got some of us thinkin' about this for our kids,grandkids or even ourselves,,,,,,I already got more projects that I will live to finish! Thanks a lot! HRP
rollie...............you should have posted another pic of that bitch'n table you striped!!! All we need know is some chairs.
here's what i want to know: is the front end of the truck crashing through the ajoining wall into the next room?? A proper "wreck room" maybe? < worse joke ever.... looks really nice
That is some really cool furniture! You guys should consider yourself lucky. If I tried to put an engine block table in our living room my wife would kick my ass!
That truck bed is the coolest. What was mom's reaction to the girlfriends head in the back window? Here's a friends end table and clock. It's not a traditional looking motor but it's sorta cool. Yes the clock is a real skirt. Clark
